HC Deb 09 December 1931 vol 260 cc1870-1W
Duchess of ATHOLL

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the need for economy, he will consider delaying bringing into operation the Probation of Offenders (Scotland) Act?

Sir A. SINCLAIR

The operation of the Probation of Offenders (Scotland) Act, 1931, could not be postponed without legislation, and I am not satisfied that postponement would be justified.
